I am an interdisciplinary artist, curator and educator based in Chicago. My artistic practice spaces and hybridizes contemporary performance, experimental theatre, social practice and time-based visual art. Inspired by what currently gnaws at me – book, image, site, time, artist, scientific inquiry, historical moment, and memory have all served as doorways for discovery - I devise through a process of research, play and experimentation. In an attempt to investigate a question that is begging my attention and interest, I fuse and juxtapose, finding complexities and commonalities between the seemingly disparate. Captivated by the metaphysical and existential, my artistic work points towards the larger questions through an examination of our very real, extremely nuanced, daily lives we live out together on earth.
Collaboration is vital to my practice and I often work in participation with others. Incorporating my own subjective experiences into the work, my practice is a relationship of love and reciprocity with the material, collaborators and audience.
My work has been performed and exhibited at The Arts & Design Incubator (Penn State), Bellmont Hall (UT Austin), Defibrillator Gallery (Chicago), The Haggerty Museum (Milwaukee), Hyde Park Art Center (Chicago), Links Hall (Chicago), the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago), Roman Susan Gallery (Chicago), and Steppenwolf Theatre (Chicago). I hold a MFA in Studio Art Performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, 2014.
